The document is sealed by Sir David de Haye and Sir Andrew of Stirling, clerk of the lord king, at that time persona of Inchture.

It is unlikely that ‘Kai’ is a mistake for ‘Hay’ or ‘Haia’, despite the grantor’s location within the parish of Erroll. Note that he says that he does not have a his own seal, and that David de Haya is sealing it for him.
